In your opinion, is my life in danger?

So BM and I are real friendly now and she confides in me and we are one big happy family just like I always wanted. Or is it?

Just to get it out of the way I'll say, yes, maybe I am crazy myself for wanting this relationship with bm after all she has done. My only excuse is my love for SD. IF you could only see how much better she is now that DH and I are on BM's good side.

Just curious about all of those who have already established what happens Christmas when you have both bio and stepkids.

Dh and are are having to decide how it will be for the first time this Christmas because this is the first Christmas for BD. (Although I have been attempting to discuss it with DH since SD's first Christmas four years ago, but of course, he put it off saying we could figure it out later. It's later now!)

Guess I'm really now a stepchild looking for help.

I'm just wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions as to where I can look for support. I'm having a really hard time with my latest life drama and I have found much comfort and guidence here before so I just thought I'd ask.

This is difficult to say, but my mother has married a registered sex offender.

The story is long, and I apologize:

She met him in church a little over a year ago, he was 3mos out prison after serving a 5 year sentance. He told her of his status, but somehow told her in a way that she did not consider it a deal breaker.

I hope our story offers hope. DH got custody!

I'm not sure how many are still around from when I first began blogging here, but I felt I just had to add on where our story left off.

It really happened, DH is now Sd's custodial parent, BM is the non-custodial parent and our home is Sd's primary residence!

I hope this provides hope to others out there dealing with a selfish self-centered custodial parent and fighting for justice for the children. It can happen, sometimes the right person does fight for custody and win.

Offering apologies and thanks

I just wanted to say thank you to all who responded to my posts. I honestly do appreciate all the different views on the subject. I also want to apologize to anyone I may have offended. It wasn't until I lay in bed last night that I started to think how much I was bothered by the subject. And usually, if something bothers me there is more behind it than I care to see at first.

With or without reading my post earlier today, I'd like to share this with everyone. I just finished it in January, but I have worked on it for some time. I hope you like it. Smile

I Am Her Stepmother

I am her stepmother,
And I am proud to be,
God has given me this important job,
And it is Him I aim to please.

I am her stepmother,
A promise to her I have made,
To guide her and protect her,
And to teach her in Gods ways.

Can Anybody help me with this?

BM is planning to get Sd from us tomorrow, her attorney sent ours what is supposed to be her occupational driver's license. Our attorney noticed the license was first faxed at 11p.m. Monday night to her attorney by AUSTIN BAIL BONDS.

Question is, does anyone know a reason a bail bonds place would have someone's occupational drivers license?????

My understanding was she had to send the order from the judge that granted her occupational license to the main DPS office in Austin to process, then they would mail it to her if approved.

Had the interview with the caseworker for our social study.

DH had a meeting with her at the courts on Monday. He was there for almost 3 hrs. He said she started by asking him for his life story. I am so proud of him. I think back to the first time we were in court about 2yrs ago and how I would get so upset and push him, trying desperatly to get him to see how wrong BM was. It's not that way now. In fact, he wouldn't even need me, except as it should be, for support. He believes wholeheartedly in what we are doing, and wants more than anything to give SD the best life he can.
